Chapter 4

Where is everyone? I asked myself not expecting an answer.

Alpha sent them away, he wants this conversation to be private. This isn't about my absence at the pack training this morning right? He nods his head before getting out to open the door for me.

"Such a gentleman". I said and he snorted in response.

He is waiting in the office. I nodded and I walked up the stairs. He doesn't need to show me the way. I have always been visiting since I was young. The alpha and luna have taken special interest in me since I was young, they saw the aptitude for pack dynamics and took time to train me and improve my skills and help me grow,more reason why I love them both.

"I just don't love their son".

I knocked on the door, and the alpha call's for me to come in. I stepped into the office and looked around. The alpha, Luna, Gabriel as well as my parents were present. They both looked annoyed and I turned to look at Gabriel.

You told them right? You fool you ruined my plan. I yelled at him and he looked at me confused.

"What plan? He asked irritatedly and I growled at him.

" To get out of the pack" He and the alpha both growl at me.

"You are going nowhere"Gabriel said.I rolled my eyes at him.

"You don't have a say over that" I said and Gabriel growled at me again. The alpha held his hands up to get our attention back and motioned me to sit on the chair in-between my parents.

Why don't we talk this over. He says apologetically.

Now Rachel, why did you reject Gabriel? He asked and I couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes. My mom pinches my thigh for response and I growl at her. Surprising everyone because I have always been a gentle wolf

" No offense alpha but your son is an asshole. You know before today I have never heard him call my real name in years. You know what he calls me bitch,slut,whore sometimes he is more creative. I said and Luna hit Gabriel at the back of his head, making me laugh.

You called your mate such filthy names? She asked horrified and Gabriel got defensive.

"I didn't know she was my mate," He shouted.

" That is not an excuse for you to speak to pack members like that. Alpha cut in before turning back to me. Maybe we shouldn't hold grudges over the things peace does when we are young, Rachel people grow.

" It was three days ago" Luna hit his head again. I gave her an appreciative look. My dad and alpha both growl at him and he sank in his chair.

" It really is ironic though, if you think about it. He called him a slut while I waited for my mate. Did you wait for me Gabriel? Did you? I asked him, as I pinned him with my glare, he couldn't answer. He was only looking at the floor.

" That's what I thought," I muttered. Alpha sighs heavily and pinches the bridge of his nose.

Rachel. My son is an asshole, but I need you to put that aside for a minute. I need you to give him a chance not just for him but for the sake of the pack. He says.

Am sorry that my pathetic love life is making you and the pack uncomfortable, alpha.

" What are you talking about? I asked with obvious irritation in my voice.

Watch yourself Rachel. My mom mutter's to me.

If I ever have the right to be ,it would only be now.

It is not just Gabriel you are rejecting as your mate. You are rejecting the whole pack. You are meant to be luna. Alpha explained and it dawned on me.

Holy shit, how could I not have realized this before? I tried to calm my beating heart and my thoughts began to race. I started to hyperventilate and my parents tried to calm me. Gabriel comes up to me and rests his hand on my back.

" Don't touch me" I shouted at him and he pulled back his hand in surprise.

Isn't my touch calming to you? He asked and I let out a mocking laugh.

Not since I rejected you. I feel nothing, I said and I didn't bother to hide my satisfaction at the truth. Gabriel looked more saddened than before.

You can't feel our bond? He asked and I Shaked my head.

"No" so I guess you bond now. I said and he went back to his seat looking defeated. Once my breathing is back to normal, alpha continues.

Normally Rachel, I did say you have every right to reject your mate, but this is bigger than you and Gabriel. This is the future of our pack," It strength". Doesn't that matter to you? He said and I nodded.

" It does that y I want to leave, alpha furrowed a serious brow at me, so does everyone else.

Explain. He says and I sigh knowing I am bound to make everyone angry.

I don't think Gabriel will make a good alpha. I said all the gasps and Gabriel growled at me.

And why is that? Alpha asked, obviously trying to control his temper. I straightened my back and took a deep breath.

He is rude, selfish, self-centered and proud. He is power hungry and stubborn. He will make this pack explode. I said, no one spoke for a long time.

Surprisingly it was Gabriel who opened his mouth first.

"I Gabriel accept".

Luna smacked her hand on the table before he could finish accepting my rejection.

When you finish that sentence I will put you in the ground myself. By doing that, you are proving everything she just said about you is true. Luna says with firm glare. Gabriel nods a little and she removes her hand, watching him closely
